Thank you.

Splenda is the only sweetner i use, my favorite is the sugar blend! The best tasting sugar substitute i have found hands down. I was sleeved august 29th and started using it almost immediately. Goodluck on your journeys:0)

I stayed away from Splenda forever post-op. But, I brought it back several months ago (in some decent quantity, too), and it has caused absolutely no problem at all.

Splenda was recommended by my Dr. perfectly safe, been using for over 5 months.

Splenda is sucralose, a sugar alcohol

sucralose is not a sugar alcohol.

sugar alcohols include xylitol, erythritol, etc. and they are, in my opinion, a much better choice than Splenda.

My program was fine with Splenda and my stomach was cool with it too. When I was in the hospital my liquid meal tray they brought me included a mug of hot tea with some Splenda packets.

I switched from splenda and went to Stevia. Splenda has so many adverse side effect and can cause cancer and weight gain.

Splenda is encouraged by my group. Nearly all the Protein Shakes have sucralose in them including Premier Protein.

Your group needs to read up a bit on the negative effects of splenda..

You can, but most people get Stevia or something like it. I get Stevia or the other thing that sounds like Stevia but actually tastes better. Especially with tea.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
